My Link Tree can be found at: https://linktr.ee/CauseofDeathpod Today, we’re going to talk about whipworm. I chose this particular parasite because my dog, Sweet Pea was diagnosed with it a few weeks ago despite having worm meds every month. We’ll begin this story, as usual, with etiology and pathology. Whipworm is a parasitic roundworm. Its scientific name is Trichuris trichiura, it’s phylum is Nematoda, Class Enoplea, Domain Eukaryota. It’s in the Family Trichuridae, Genus Trichuris and Kingdom Animalia. The body of the worm is shaped like a whip with a long, thick handle-like structure at one end, the anus, that tapers off to a thin whip-like structure at the other end. It’s this end that attaches to the cecum, but we’ll get to that. For those of you who love my dog, she’s a special guest on this episode. She’s talking about her experience with whipworm. And her birthday party.

They made the announcement on January 23, 2024. They have referred to this time as a moment of historic danger. “This year, the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists leave the hands of the Doomsday Clock unchanged due to ominous trends that continue to point the world toward global catastrophe.” Countdown, the Finale Show Notes: The January 23rd announcement of the Science and Security Board: https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/current-time/ https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/current-time/nuclear-risk/ https://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear-weapons/worldwide#:~:text=Nine%20countries%20possess%20nuclear%20weapons,is%20close%20to%2013%2C000%20weapons. https://www.icanw.org/nuclear_arsenals?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAt5euBhB9EiwAdkXWOyENFzF9Rcw4CyCkeD-ubxbexrclYhy_iQrf0Bta0HfvjW6AvwvIuBoC7EgQAvD_BwE https://ee.stanford.edu/~hellman/opinion/inevitability.html https://ee.stanford.edu/~hellman/breakthrough.html https://www.nti.org/area/nuclear/ https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/nuclear-weapons?CMP=ILC-refresh https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/12/27/us-frets-over-irans-accelerated-uranium-enrichment-programme https://www.foreignaffairs.com/ukraine/real-russian-nuclear-threat https://time.com/6323059/us-china-russia-nuclear-threat/ https://www.ntiindex.org/ https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/as-the-us-faces-down-new-nuclear-threats-will-cold-war-solutions-work-once-again/ https://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear-weapons/solutions https://carnegieendowment.org/2023/05/04/rattling-nuclear-saber-what-russia-s-nuclear-threats-really-mean-pub-89689 https://www.icanw.org/will_putin_use_nuclear_weapons https://world101.cfr.org/global-era-issues/nuclear-proliferation/nuclear-world https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/return-nuclear-escalation https://fas.org/initiative/status-world-nuclear-forces/ https://www.aljazeera.com/tag/israel-war-on-gaza/ https://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear-weapons/worldwide?utm_source=googlegrants&utm_medium=search&utm_campaign=GSP&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAiP2tBhBXEiwACslfnpqmexpLcMY3Kgo1EpbsSYGLtOrs0OOvQMPK48EMT9AOzH1qM9hDhxoCGUgQAvD_BwE https://www.cbsnews.com/news/north-korea-kim-jong-un-us-missile-tests-threat-nuclear-war/ https://thebulletin.org/2023/11/why-a-russian-nuclear-expert-thinks-the-doomsday-clock-should-move-away-from-midnight/ https://press.un.org/en/2023/sc15250.doc.htm https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/topics_50068.htm https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-u-s-s-plans-to-modernize-nuclear-weapons-are-dangerous-and-unnecessary/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=tfd_dsa&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAiP2tBhBXEiwACslfniXvPhGsmExdPF0TbFL-t-I1wROwuKtLzwaMVVRIf1CBqutWoXxr2xoCCY0QAvD_BwE https://gsinstitute.org/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAiP2tBhBXEiwACslfnrsJFQ-KeYi8Jfd1tus-ZaiPBG5eowGF0UR1lt8ClNqIFI6oVxfDFhoCfQAQAvD_BwE https://www.icanw.org/nuclear_arsenals?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAt5euBhB9EiwAdkXWOyENFzF9Rcw4CyCkeD-ubxbexrclYhy_iQrf0Bta0HfvjW6AvwvIuBoC7EgQAvD_BwE https://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear-weapons/worldwide#:~:text=Nine%20countries%20possess%20nuclear%20weapons,is%20close%20to%2013%2C000%20weapons. https://www.statista.com/statistics/264435/number-of-nuclear-warheads-worldwide/ http://nuclearrisk.org/3likely.php https://cepa.org/article/the-china-russia-axis-moves-into-high-gear/ https://news.mit.edu/2023/foreign-policy-scholars-examine-china-russia-relationship-1117 https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/09/11/china-russia-alliance-cooperation-brics-sco-economy-military-war-ukraine-putin-xi/...

My Link Tree can be found at: https://linktr.ee/CauseofDeathpod Bees pollinate about a third of the fruits, nuts and vegetables that we eat every day. There are about 20,000 bee species in the world and 4,000 of those species are in the US. More than 2,000 of the US species are in decline and half are facing extinction. Today, I’m going to talk about bees and their importance as pollinators, and what would happen if they weren’t around anymore. It’s 90 seconds to midnight and not only could several ecosystems fail, but we could face a critical global food shortage if we don’t save one important pollinator, the bee.

There have been rumors about Yellowstone being overdue for a super volcanic eruption circulating for years, but is there actually a timer on super eruptions? Can we predict that? And what would the consequences of a super eruption be? It’s 90 Seconds to Midnight and the earth is rumbling with volcanic activity. Could any of these eruptions mean the end of life as we know it?

The US doesn’t experience much terrorism, we’ve had several attacks on US soil, but for the most part, we’ve had far less than other countries experience. In modern day terrorist attacks, the goal is to spread fear by directing violence against innocent victims. These attacks can be initiated by a government, a radical group, liberationists or “freedom fighters”. They attack anywhere with no warning making people wonder, “Could I be next?” You can reach me on the website at www.causeofdeath100secs.net or you can email me at [email protected].

I’m often asked to talk about Global Warming, my answer to that is that I do. I talk about it in almost every 100 Seconds to Midnight episode. Global Warming either influences or affects just about everything that makes the clock tick down in one way or another. Today, I’m going to talk about global warming again. Specifically, how it affects infectious disease. It’s 90 seconds to midnight and across the world, the temperature is rising. Not only are old diseases rearing their heads, but new diseases are making their way into humanity. They’re coming with a vengeance, and we are not prepared.

For hundreds of years before Germ Theory was discovered, people were trying to find an explanation for the plagues and pestilence that followed them. As millions succumbed to the Black Plague, leprosy, rabies, and tuberculosis, there was no rhyme or reason for the death and destruction. They didn’t understand bacteria, viruses or parasites. Even through the 1800s, people thought that disease was caused by the wrath of some vengeful god, or a curse from an evil foe. Not only that, but they believed that the people who contracted these diseases were possessed of some demon. They turned into vampires or werewolves.

While I don’t condone the wholesale legalization of every drug available, I do condone decriminalization and treatment. The US has begun to move in that direction, but it moves slowly and contrary to popular belief, not all people are created equal. Drug treatment isn’t available to all. Marginalized communities, especially, people of color and the impoverished are left behind.

This is a Subscriber Only Bonus Episode.  Hello and welcome to another episode of Cause of Death – 100 Seconds to Midnight What’s On My Mind. I’m your host, Jackie Moranty. These episodes don’t quite fit into the normal feed, so you get them as subscriber only episodes. In the nursery rhyme “The House That Jack Built”, Jack starts with a rat that eats the chaff on his floor, then the cat comes along to get rid of the rat, then comes the dog who chases the cat, and so on and so on. In this episode, I’ll be talking about the house that Jack built and how invasive species ruin ecosystems and contribute to the extinction of native species.
